Choose standard class or first class rail travel when you book. Then, on the day, leave central London by train in the early morning and travel to the historical city of Liverpool.
Enjoy the views of the picturesque English countryside during your journey. Then, on arrival at Liverpool’s Lime Street station, enjoy the day to explore the city sites associated with the Fab Four both independently and on a guided Magical Mystery tour.
Perhaps start at the beautifully restored, UNESCO-listed Albert Dock complex on the banks of the fabled Mersey River. Enjoy the river views and amble around this stylish area, home to chic shops, vibrant restaurants, and the Tate Liverpool art gallery and Merseyside Maritime Museum.
Stroll to the Liverpool Waterfront, and use your included entrance ticket to visit The Beatles Story, the world’s largest permanent exhibition devoted to this legendary band. Explore independently and relive the meteoric rise to fame of the four Liverpudlian lads—Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr—who changed the world and music with their catchy pop tunes.
Learn about their Liverpool childhoods, step inside a replica of the Cavern Club where they first found local fame, go behind the scenes at their Abbey Road studios, relive their last live performance on Apple’s rooftop and much more. When you feel hungry, stop for lunch (own expense) at any of the city’s eclectic restaurants, bars, or cafes. Then, stroll to the meeting point for your afternoon Magical Mystery tour of Beatles-associated sights.
Hop into your comfortable coach and be introduced to places once frequented by the young band. Pass the famous Cavern Club where they played 292 times; see their schools and birthplaces; and pause at sites celebrated in songs such as Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields Forever, all as your onboard guide recounts fun gossip and trivia.
When the time comes, catch your return train back to central London, where your trip concludes in the evening.

Magical Mystery Tour was excellent, enjoyed visiting the homes where each of the Beatles lived. Tony was very knowledgeable and funny and Dave did a great job maneuvering the bus around Liverpool.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Dear Christine_T,
It sounds like you had an excellent time on the Magical Mystery Tour, exploring the homes of the Beatles! Tony's knowledge and humor must have made the experience both informative and entertaining, while Dave's skillful driving ensured a smooth and enjoyable journey around Liverpool.
Thank you for sharing your positive feedback with us. If you ever decide to explore more with us, we'd be thrilled to have you join us again for another memorable adventure!
Best wishes,
Evan Evans Team

The tour started off pretty well and the instructions were easy to follow. The experience was great however, we did not realize that booking near Christmas day in the UK means that train services are at risk being cancelled. Our scheduled train back to London was cancelled last minute and we had to go through alternative routes and gave up our reserved seats. This was our first time in the Country and we’re not familiar with the situation and would be helpful if first timers can be warned beforehand.

I am 74 and Male from Toronto. The entire day was Dreamlike for me. From the Beatles Story, the Bronze statues on the Dock with the highlight being the Beatles Magical Mystery Tour bus Ride. The young man that narrated the trip was Outstanding and the whole tour was Amazing. The singalongs were a dream come true. A day I will always remember.

I loved it all! Just being where the Beatles lived and began was thrilling for me. I’ve wanted to come to Liverpool since I was 10 (60 years ago).

We had a fantastic time on this tour. Transportation was super easy and straightforward, with trains to and from Liverpool arranged by the tour. The morning was spent at the Beatles Story Museum which was awesome; and the afternoon Magical Mystery Tour was equally so. We also had some spare time in between the two to get lunch, and in the evening before our train back to do another activity (we went to the Liverpool Cathedral but there are a few options of additional activities).
Highly recommend this tour!

Seeing all the childhood homes and haunts of The Beatles, the places where fate intervened and they met for the first time and the places that inspired their music was a total thrill and an experience every true Beatles fan must have.

I could not go on this tour, even though I had paid for it. I could not download the tickets. I rang the tour provider in London and they told me to contact viator. I sent an email and explained I could not download the tickets and they just sent me the same things again. This meant I did not have the tickets and no one would help me so I lost my money I paid for the trip I could not attend.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Hi Marjorie_M,
Thank you for your review, we are sorry to hear you didn't have the best day with us. Seeing as you booked directly with Viator, this would need to be taken up with them. Their email is feedback@viator.com. We hope this experience hasn't deterred you from travelling with us again soon!

The Magical mystery bus tour was very good. The tour guide was fun and informative. I would have liked to go into Strawberry Fields to see the white piano (John Lennon) that was on display. Was also hoping to see Elenor Rigby grave. The Beatles museum was sparse of Beatle memorabilia (clothes they wore etc) a lot of it was replicas.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Hi Tara_C,
Thank you so much for this lovely review, we are so happy to hear you had such a good experience with us.
Guest satisfaction is our top priority. We're constantly looking for opportunities to exceed expectations.
We hope you come visit us again soon!

Tony on the Magical Mystery Tour Bus was great, he obviously loves his (relatively new) job showing his love for The Beatles and his beautiful hometown Liverpool, and he and Alan gave us a great day. Tony has a great voice and comic timing for his role, but the bus's microphone for him to use is dodgy, and needs replacement!
